This is an optional mini challenge for our UNO players.

This mini challenge is all about reading different tasks related to unusual holidays in April!

¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪

How to play

⭐ For each task read you will receive 10 points
⭐ If you complete all 70 tasks* you receive 30 bonus points
⭐ If you complete all 70 tasks* you can shoot for "extra" bonus points by combining 2 tasks together. Each combined task is worth 30 points.
Example: combine day 11 Apr Barbershop Quartet Day
19. Read a book where someone goes to a hairdresser
20. Read a book with B and Q in the title

by reading a book with B and Q in the title where someone goes to the hairdresser
You can also read from two different days, so, for example, choosing tasks 69 and 47 I can read a book with honesty in the text which has an orange cover.
~Your team can do a maximum of 4 "extra" bonuses.
~The same combined tasks can't be duplicated - i.e. the 8 tasks chosen for the 4 combined tasks need to be 8 different tasks from the list

* The following teams are only required to achieve 60 tasks, not 70, to get the bonus points and to be able to access the "extra" bonuses:
Betelgeuse
Triangulum
Pluto
Tucana
Ceres
-The 60 tasks are of your choice, they do not need to be in any order
